TuIare,s boom.

The visalia Times says: A few dsys
since Colonel Geo. H. Smith, prom
inent lawyer of Los Angeles. purchased
the Hays & Eleanor tract of land, tan
miles south of Visalia, consisting Of 4, 900
acres, paying therefor the sum Of SO, 900.
or $3.50 per acre. Last week Thcs.
Creighton sold his Elk Bayou ranch
to 4. Bennett & Son, OF Topeka,
Kansas, for the sum of $54, 200. There
are 26OO acres of land in the tract. It
will be remembered that only few
weeks since J.. Goldman purchased the
Stokes ranch, seven miles west of Visalis,
the consideration being $62, 900. This
makes $lS6, 900 worth of property that
has been transferred in these three
transactions alone, within a month, say.
ing nothing of the many small transfers
involving sums ranging from $1,000 to
$40, 900.
1t is not positively known what Col.
Smiths object is in reference to the
Hays tract; some persons suppose that
he has bought it merely as q speculation.
while others see in it an extension Of :
railway through this valley that will
pass over this land. Whatever the Oh
ject, Mr.. Smith has secured bargain
on which he will be enabled to double q
treble his money within . short space d
time. sfs4si..>

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
WASHINGTON, March 22.-Colonel
Lamont, in conversation to-day in regard
to the Presidents health, showed that
the fears recently expressed by DR.. Pow.
ers ale not shared by the Presidents
family and his intimate friends. The
President, Colonel Lamont said, was 10
all appearances in perfec. health. He
did not think DR.. Powers was in po-
sition to judge of the matter, as he did
not know the President, and what he
said was, in the Coloners opinion,
based merely on tho assertion that the
President was gaining in flesh and tookno
exercise. This was not the case. As
matter Of fact he continued, the Presi-
dent weighs. less than when he first
came to Washington, and really takes
as much exercise os most other men. 1t
ia true he does not walk about the city,
but he frequently walks in the country,
and there are other ways in which he
gets exercise. The Colonel added that.
the President is in good
and there is no reason for any
in regard to his health.

A HORRID WRETCH.
Willie Sell, Sixteen Years Old,
COnfesSeS Wholesale Murder.

Willie Sell, sixteen Years Old,
COnfesses Wholesale Murder.
ST. LOUIS. March 22.-One year ago
this month one of the bloodiest murders
of human beings known, was committed
near Erie, Kansas. j. w. Sell, we'll
to.do farmer and his whole family, ex-
cept one son, Willie boy sixteen years
old, were found murdered, their heads
being crushed and their throats cut.
There has been a great diversity of
opinion as to whether Willie Sell com.
nitted the murder. On the trial there
was no evidence and the State failed to
find any motive for the crime; on tho
contrary it was proven that Willie was
an exceptionally good boy, and that he
and his sister Ina were more
than commonly fond of each
other. The boy confessed last
night that his father on the night of the
murder had quarrelled with his son
Watt, when the latter struck his father
with hatchet. Willie obtained the
hatchet from Watt and knocked Watt
down. The mother and sister came into
the room screaming, and Willie knocked
them down in a frenzy. He cut his
brother Watts throat, then fearing that
if any of the others came to life again
they would declare that he had killed
Watt, he cut their throats, too. The
recital corresponds to the facts as ascer-
tanned at the trial.

Comfy Land.

The Supervisors yesterday refused an
offer OF 5000 per front foot for a lot of land
owned by the county on Buena Vista
street, near where the new courthouse
will be erected. Mr.. Rowan said that
the county could do better and he
hoped to be able to get $500 per foot or
more after the court house is built; in
fact, he thought he could get that for it
now. The was no necessity for money
at the prest time. and if they should
sell now the money would lie idle with
out bringing in any return. The Super
visors thought that if there was posi-
bility of rise in value the county
should have the benefit, as well as any
one else. When the courthouse is built
value of land all around will be enhanced
and until then no money is likely to Be
needed. The sale of county lands will
have to be by auction and no offer can
be taken except at public sale, which
will be duly announced.

This is marvellous when it is consid-
cred that all gorges and floods were
supposed to have passed. No one
seems able to oaccount for this action of the
river unless that sthe warm weather is
able to produce d rise. The train from
the east was delayed twenty minutes
this afternoon by the rise in Apple
Creek, three mile3 east of this point. II
the water in the creek rises much more
it will be impossible for trains to come
to Bismarck, as The water at that point
will put out the fires. There is no
longer any doubt about the drowning of
the Jackson family at Painted Woods.
This family consisted of the father,
mother and two children.
ST. PAUL, Match 22.-A Bismarck
special to the Pioneer Press says that the
water now is Stationary. The Northern
Pacific transferred on yawls to-day and
will transfer by steamer Helenatomorrow
All passengers delayed here are being
fed at the company's expense. Dyna.
mite has proved unavailiug on the gorge
at Sibley Island to-day. The Little
Heart river is expected to break, and
when it does the water will back into
the Mandan in terrific flood.

.quaintance he made her presents at vari-
Gus times, amounting in all to $4,000
The largest sum given at one time was
$1,000. Six weeks after departing for the

A Representative Shot At.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, March 22.-An at.
tempt was made tonight upon the life
of Representative George P. Bailey,
Labor member, of East st. Louis, by
some unknown person. Mr.. Bailey was
returning to his boarding house, and
was in the act of stepping upon theporch
leading to the door, when he was fired
upon. The person was concealed be-
hind corner of the house. The re-
volver was a thirty-two calibre, and
the ball went through Mr.. Bailey's
overcoat, piercing a morocco-covered
memorandum book in the pocket of his
under coat and lodging in book similar
to the one pierced by the ball. Mr.
Bailey says that he has no theory con-
cerning the shooting except the fact of
his having been one of the parties to q
resolution condemning two labor mem
bers of the Leg stature for acting as pail
bearers at Mrs. Neebe's funeral.

He Made Two Wills.

OTTAWA. ILL.,, March 22.-The Su.
preme Court has reversed the finding of
the Circuit and Appellate courts in the
matter of the will of the late WILDER F.
Storey. The last will of Storey, which
bequeathed his property. including the
Chicago Times newspaper, ia thusazir-
tually declared invalid.
Story left two wills, very similar in
their nature, and the last was offered
for probate, but the point was raised
that at the time of making the will the
testator was not responsible. The first
will made some time prior to the one
thrown out. it is supposed, will now be
offered for probate.
